Author: Fred As is now usual, I want to thank Lex Nakashima for ordering this from Amazon.fr and loaning it to me for this review. Spanish writer Juan Díaz Canales and artist Juanjo Guarnido met while working at an animation studio in Madrid in the early 1990s. After both moved to Paris, they met again […]

Moths do know how to party!

I have driver's ed tomorrow, so I'm spending the night at my friend's because we're in the same class and we're going together. Unfortunately, it's insanely hot, there's no AC, friend's asleep, and I'm bored out of my mind. So I wanted to ask, what are you guys doing? How are you feeling? Anything you guys wanna talk about?

Hey Papa Bear,

I am a freelance cartoon artist looking to get my name out there so I can start getting professional jobs. I have been a commissioned artist for many years and have recently Been submitting art pieces to various Furry convention books. I have also decided to start attending various conventions.

Do you know any magazines or something looking for character designers or contributors?

Sincerely, 
Maw or DM

Hi, Maw,

You’re going about it the wrong way. If one is serious about becoming an illustrator, one doesn’t concern himself with getting his name “out there.” That does you no good. Go straight for the jugular, my friend, and start making professional contacts as soon as possible.

My suggestion would be for your to go to the Wikifur website and search for furry publishers.  There are a few out there, such as Radio Comix and Mu Press that might be worth contacting. Next, write a query letter to their editors stating your experience and ambitions, and include samples of your work. Ask if they have any authors who might need illustrators to partner with.

Publishers usually are not looking for character designers so much as they are seeking reliable (i.e., business-like and professional) illustrators for books and comics.

If you are open to other opportunities outside the fandom, you might consider giving a look at the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Illustrating children’s books can be a very rewarding profession. A professional organization such as the SCBWI can be a great boon to any budding illustrator. As an alternative, you might also try http://www.childrensillustrators.com/.

I’ve seen too many talented artists go nowhere because they feel the only game in town for them, because they are furry, is the fandom. A good illustrator is a good illustrator. If you wish to make a living doing what you love, do not limit yourself. And get your mind out of the idealistic world of “I am an artiste!” and treat this as a business because that’s what being a professional means.

Good luck!

Papabear

Trying to renew my repertoire, so I'd like to know what you like to listen to (Looking for specific names, please!). Most of the time someone linked music here I enjoy it a lot! Don't worry about linking obvious stuff, it's likely I forgot the artist's name. Any style any languages!

Here's a few I'm recommanding to kick things off:

Avicii (Hey brother), Ratatat (Wildcat), Parov Stelar (Mojo radio gang), DJ Champion (Tawoumga), Imagine dragon (Radioactive), Lock's Quest OST (theme/final boss), theblackparrot (Pomme de terre; a redditor too!), Smash Mouth (All-star), Billy Talent (red flags), Diplo (Big lost), Macklemore (city can't hold us), Gorillaz (feel good inc), Bruce Springsteen (death to my hometown), Renaud (la mer), Benabar, Julien Clerc (double enfance), Loco Locass (bonzaion), Les trois accords (tout nu sur la plage), Madeon (grand finale; formerly suggested by fxscreamer, thx!), king dedede drum and bass remix, gerudo valley oc remix, Bill Kelley (Pause Ahead's music), New world revolution (Illuminate me), The noisy freaks (cheer song), Loreena McKennit (greensleaves), we no speak americano, scatman, brentalfloss (cave story with lyrics).

What have you got?

Edit: Wee! Thanks for the ideas, I'm getting my computer fixed, but I'll listen to them all soon :)
